New Hitachi drive offers record capacity for audio/video and nearline storage applications
SAN JOSE, Calif., March 10, 2004 – Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (Hitachi GST) today announced the world’s highest capacity 3.5-inch ATA hard drive, the 400GB Deskstar 7K400. The new drive has been designed for audio video (AV) and ATA nearline environments, where large capacities and a lower per-gigabyte cost are key requirements. A new industry-standard AV feature set makes the drive well-suited for use in high-end digital video recorders (DVRs) that are designed to record substantial amounts of high-quality digital programming.
“Extremely high capacity disk drives are more essential now than ever with digital video recording coming into the mainstream,” said Jose Antelo, general manager, 3.5-inch Consumer and Commercial HDDs, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies. “We are now in a position to extend our consumer electronics portfolio to include the high-end device segments, most notably the nascent market for high-capacity DVRs.”
